The Best Is Yet To Come

Another bright sunny day and out of the wind is lovely and warm.  We have had the door open for the afternoon to freshen the place up a little.

Yesterday we had a lovely potter around the cheap shop and we found the ornament for my sister that was just right.  As we are not heading that way I will ask dad if he is heading there around Christmas or possibly give it to BIL who will hide it for me at the back of the tree ready for her to find then taking it down.

Because the shop is attached to a supermarket that we don't normally go to, we like looking at all of the yummy treats that we don't normally get.  One thing I did notice was how much things had gone up in both shops.  £1.80 for a bar of chocolate that last year cost £1. This type of increase was all over and there were some crazy prices.  This year we will be going without some bits as I can not justify the extra costs.  Because we eat the same things all the time I guess I have not noticed the prices creeping up each week, but for the things I buy once a year the increase is seen all at once.  We went a little over budget but not crazy and fun was had.  

I really enjoyed this bonus weekend and need a few more in the next few months.  I doubt it will happen but you never know
